HIGH INTENSITY ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCERS AND METHODS AND DEVICES FOR MANUFACTURING HIGH INTENSITY ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCERS

摘要

A method of manufacturing an ultrasound transducer (2) is provided. The ultrasound transducer (2) is activated and the activity across the transducer is measured to determine whether the activity at any area does not meet an acceptance criteria. The transducer is then modified so that the area meets the acceptance criteria. The transducer may be modified with a laser (43) which removes material from the area which does not meet the accceptance criteria.
